Unique Properties
The public area is designed as an open space. The designer has redefined and magnified the residential space by altering the original layout, merging study and part of the walkway with living and dining room into one mix-used space. Blurring the boundary between living and dining area reserves space for flexible activities. Large frame structure with embedded LED strips as the combination of study desk and bar counter, improves the interaction between one another in different functional space.
Inspiration
The consistent simplicity design style and planning for the overall space has achieved the requirement of the client. The adequate space where the child can play is realized by exclusion of a dining table. Using frame as a design concept enables clients to take care of their child even when working at the couch office area. The large floating frame structure with study desk and bar counter purpose, not only very functional but also brings out the sense of lightness of the space volumes.
Research
Painted in white and gray tones, the public space uses soft lights and wood to create a sense of warmth. It is designed with simplicity, achieving a stylish atmosphere. Chic natural texture is created for the gray walls. Master bedroom has a dark gray tone, with wood texture, modern furniture and embedded light, showing a sense of noble.

Operation and Interaction
The most time-consuming part is the application of the imported decorative paint in the living room. The construction team has achieved to create the ideal texture, letting the overall texture of the public space stays consistent. In addition, the original kitchen space has insufficient storage space. After reorganizing the layout, the storage space is increased for electrical appliances with additional function of a preparation table, achieving complete functionality and practicality.
